Working great for me
I've been searching for something to add in my routine for anti-aging and already use Murad cleanser so I decided to give this a shot. I have dry skin with texture and hormonal acne. It doesn't dry out my skin like I feared a product with retinol would. I put it on before bed and in the morning my f...

Better/less expensive options out there
I am a huge Murad fan because of their brightening (orange) line which has completely transformed my skin. I jumped at the chance to try their retinol product but TBH after using up the whole bottle I don't really see a difference between this and other less expensive retinol brands (ex, Olay, La Ro...

Helps Keep Hormonal Acne in Check
I use this retinol cream a few nights a week on my combination skin, and it's really helped reduce hormonal breakouts. It goes on smoothly and feels great without causing irritation. It's become a reliable part of my routine. But I wish it wasn't so expensive!
Phenomenal
This is the first retinol where i didnt have a harsh reaction but had amazing results! Really helped with my discoloration! As well a little fine lines ive had! This aligns perfectly with the Repair Barrier Cream!
Glittery :(
I received this product as part of a larger set, and I was most interested n this item, as I've been using a much more expensive product and wanted to find a replacement. Feels nice and smooth on application, but lo and behold it has something glittery in it! No, no, no. I see no good reason to add sparkly ingredients to an under eye serum for use am and pm. A no go for me, glad it was only a small bottle.
Dozens of positives
I recieved a sample inside of ULTAs skin value sets. I used it regularly for 1.5 weeks and my skin felt dewy, hydrated, less sensitive skin related issues. My friend thought I went and got a facial.
Wonderful entry level retinol
I looked into many different retinol products and pulled the trigger on the Murad retinol. I was afraid of drying my skin and purging but none of that has happened. It is very easy to use and the product spreads easily on the skin. I apply if after my toner and essence, but before my moisturizer. Since I started to use this product, my makeup looks much better on my skin which I belive is because my skin texture has gotten better. A con of this product is the high cost. In addition, there is a powdery fragrance that is very strong. It doesn't bother me but not sure why it is there.
